No need for the kevlar from here.... A correction to the quote below.......

IIRC the Bosch injection pump does not rely on the lubrication qualities of the fuel. The pumps in our cars use motor oil for lubrication.

That's why the reduction of sulfur is not a critical factor in Bosch pumps as it is in rotary injection pumps that use diesel fuel for lubrication.

The Bosch inline diesel injection pump looks from the outside like a robust piece of kit, but on the inside it works as well as it does because it's a precision instrument on the order of a Swiss watch. In particular, it relies upon the lubricating qualities, and general purity, of the diesel that runs
through it.
